The source
of every disobedience, indiﬀerence, and passion
is self-satisfaction.
The source
of every obedience, vigilance, and virtue
is dissatisfaction with one’s self.
It is better for you to keep company with an ignorant man
dissatisﬁed with himself
than to keep company with a learned man
satisﬁed with himself.
For what knowledge is there in a self-satisﬁed scholar?
And what ignorance is there in an unlearned man
dissatisﬁed with himself?

The Real is not veiled from you.
Rather, it is you who are veiled from seeing Him; for, were anything to veil Him, then that which veils Him would cover Him, But if there were a covering to Him, then that would be a limitation to His Being:
Every limitation to anything has power over it.
“And He is the Omnipotent, above His servants.”

Zakatul Maal

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever is made wealthy by Allah and does not pay the Zakat of his wealth, then on the Day of Resurrection his wealth will be made like a bald-headed poisonous male snake with two black spots over the eyes. The snake will encircle his neck and bite his cheeks and say, 'I am your wealth, I am your treasure.' " Then the Prophet recited the holy verses:-- 'Let not those who withhold . . .' (to the end of the verse). (3.180). Sahih Bukhari
